I think that you would have to subtract the two because the bathroom floor has an area of 2 2/3 and she is putting down a rug that has an area of 1 1/4 and you would need to subtract to see how much space she would have left when she is done putting the rug down.

It should be Additional because she adds on another rug right so you just add 2 /23 + 1 1/4 and you will get your answer hope this helps
! and if u subtract that means your removing 1 rug and that's not in the question. :D
